Looking at the photos it is visible at the edges of the outside link parts that the metal has worn considerably. Also, with the extended distance between links, either the pins are worn considerably, or the inside of the center link is well ground down.

So, yes, if a pin finally wears down so it's strength is minimal, it will simply break under low stress activities. It could simply break and fall off.

Sounds like a very good synopsis...I think as minimum I would go for a refurb! Could pay in the long run!
